MT. PLEASANT– With wins in nine events, the early question at the Regional Track Meet Thursday, May 12, in Mount Pleasant was not if Solon’s girls would win… but by how much.
Quite a bit, actually. The Spartans scored no lower than fifth in any of the 12 individual events, double-placing in eight, and no lower than third in any of the seven relays to rack up 190 points; claiming their first Class 3A Regional banner. That– and a district team title for the boys, as well– kept fans and athletes out on the track and infield for congratulations and photos for half an hour after the meet.

The Band and Spotlight are foregoing their annual garage sale this year and are trying a can drive on May 21 in the HS parking lot. Please save your cans and bring them out to support the band and Spotlight. Thank you to the community for all your support!

The June meeting of the Solon Book Club will be member’s choice. Each may read a biography or autobiography of their choice and share a synopsis with the group. The last meeting before summer hiatus will be Tuesday, June 21, at 6:30 p.m. so there’s plenty of time to pick a biography. After a break for the summer, the Solon Area Book Club will resume in September.
